ALEX

His eyes stared at the screen ahead of him, illuminated by the light falling from the projector. The only source of light in this dark room. a man in his 30's dressed in a striped button down shirt and office pants, stood in front of the screen as he explained with flailing hands whatever the screen was displaying. His eyes nervously pondered over Alex again and again as if to get his approval but no reaction was attained from Alex. Few more people sat on his left and right on a U shaped people listening to the presentation and taking notes from time to time. The same was expected from Alex as he sat in the center. But he couldn't focus, his eyes aimlessly wandered as his mind was somewhere else. He was just physically present there in that meeting room while absent mentally.
